#2 BUT the Sanctions stay in place. They havent changed any policy decisions in Syria ( that's true). But its very hard to get parts to fly a National Airlines and repair a Computer in Damascus ( expensive to impossible).

And the "career" Diplomat for Obama (how would you like that dead end job?) will be about as successful as our roaring achievements in Iran glad handing Chuckles the Mullah, there.

The Ambassador can sit at his window sipping sweet Tea and watching the goose stepping Hizbollah rallys shouting DEATH to the West and DEATH to the Jews down below in the Plaza...while the 1960's cars drive by with their doors held on with chicken wire.

Nevertheless, I hear, the foods good.
